There’s a feeling like the buzzing of the frothing foam from
a recently smoothed out wave</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like the leaping of the white sea- horses, riding the waves
into the security of shore</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When your feet tingle as the sea sucks away from the sand
softening the mould of your tickling toes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When hilarity bubbles from the place of hiccups</div>

outrageous comedy flooding the seascape with scandalous

It is corks popping from champagne, fizzing charisma over
brimming glasses</div>

Foaming baths and pink lemonade, crunchy meringue, the shock
of sherbet as it hits the tongue</div>

It is blowing magic bubbles on a rainy day, </div>

The warmth of happy memories and a hug the size of the

It is the twinkling of a charmed heart, a hint of mischief
in a dimpled cheek, a smiley wink</div>

An effervescent energy bouncing our steps, bubbling out,
infectious</div>

It is supercalifragilisticespialidocious</div>

As I understand it living with bereavements associated with Organ Donation is complex as a process and I am hoping that Word Weaving will be an affective and therapeutic tool for people.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01450191057350204656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101417297482100207.post-24250248382688191922011-09-16T02:26:00.001-07:002012-11-05T12:58:06.351-08:00Word Weave for Sanctuary<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a Word Weave created for Sanctuary at Balsall Heath Church Centre. It has been created by the people who meet regularly for 'Sanctuary' time, engaging in creative activities and eating together. The words of this Word Weave were given by the group using a creative activity and the Silver Word Tree. We attached leaf rubbings and stylised leaf shapes to our Word Weave Tree, I then brought them all home My first attempt to write the Word Weave began on my Mum's memory bench at Martineau Gardens, which was significant because we have only just placed it there. I woke up suddenly at 2am in the morning, inspired to write. Over midnight munchies and a cup of tea I wrote this piece of work which will now form part of a creative work for the Sanctuary Space. Sanctuary may use silks and paints to incorporate the Autumn leaf motif. Thanks to Sanctuary for trusting me with this and for the joy of your company. This is the result of all of our offerings.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shattered but not broken</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shattered but not broken<br />Fractured, frustrated<br />Like hairline sketches on eggshells we approach the door<br />An inward glow of hope has carried us here<br />Brimming from imperceptible injuries it pours out into a breathles pause</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fragments are held together as we move through this door with our fragile lives of finely spun glass held in excited hands<br />Anticipation opens the door, friendship welcomes us in<br />We hold our breath together and enter a warm loving heart</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have created Sanctuary in our sharing of friendship and we have been restored.<br />Enlivened, inspired, exhilarated and happy, filled renewed and replete<br />With clinking mugs and steaming soup acceptance came to table<br />Nurtured in creative communion,<br />Engaged in concentrated silence, we broke bread together in our safe place</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We left as clearer pictures, deeper in colour, stronger images of ourselves.</span><br />
